Pollyanna & Oaio — Mid-Week Sessions
Thursday September 25 @ 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM
A MID-WEEK SESSIONS SERIES CONCERT
French musicians Pollyanna and Oaio continue our MID-WEEK SESSIONS SERIES CONCERTS this Autumn/Winter season.
Pollyanna
Pollyanna is a French Indie-Folk project led by Isabelle Casier. Her honest songwriting and heart-warming voice has led her to many different places all across the western hemisphere. She shared the bill with riot grrrls stars (Sleater Kinney), sophisticated indie pop (Wilco), French chanson (Françoiz Breut), rootsy folksters in Tennessee and shanty choirs in Germany.
A curiosity and taste for friendliness that is noticeable whether she plays solo or lines up a full band. Despite a natural flair for minor chords, Isabelle’s cheerful presence, eclectic taste and experiences as an outsider (in Europe and the Americas) open up her musical field to all things pop, rock, folk and folklores. A fair collection of ballads that often sound like pure classics.
Oaio
Bathed in folk, then falling into Latin American music, Oaio plunged into jazz then headed towards bluegrass, to emerge from these adventures with a first album, Bizarre Monde , tracing the path of an anti-purist French song, mixed with the Mediterranean and the Americas.
On the guitar, the ukulele and banjo, the Lille native carries her voice and her songs like pilgrims carry their staffs, in search of a new world made of connections and reconciliations.
Step by step, song by song, Oaio hopes to one day set foot in a delightfully unknown territory, to raise a small flag adorned with four magical vowels.

Doors open 7pm — Gig starts 8pm
Please note: this event takes place on a Thursday.
The only other thing we request/ recommend from you guys is that you pre-book your ticket online (which carries a €1 booking fee). This is because, we’re a small venue with capacity for only a certain number of people. It makes everything a lot more straight forward if we know how many people to expect in advance and means we can manage people turning up on the night without creating hassle for anyone in the event we end up having more people than we can accommodate. If that happens, the people who have committed to pre-booking will be given priority. So if you don’t mind, we’d appreciate it if you could pre-book.
Cancellations & Refunds: A minimum of 7 days notice ahead of the event date is required for refund requests. Refunds cannot be guaranteed if the request is made with less than 7 days notice. If the event is cancelled by the organiser, refunds will be issued automatically.
